It’ll probably be great. That’s pretty much giaranteed based on the physics. That said, if you already have a mesh that has good connectivity, an antenna like this would probably just reduce the latency a bit. If you have latency-sensitive applications. I use an HA Yellow with its built-in Zigbee radio. It only reaches 5-10m. Everything after that is connected through the mesh.

Never had it. Z-Wave needs a differrnt antenna and since they’re using full-size antennas for these devices, the Z-Wave one is significantly larger so it’s a separate device.

Got the module some years ago when there were massive shortages. I found a couple CM4s and bought them at the time.

What are you comparing it to?

You’re supposed to set SQM lower than the WAN throughput. I think you’re right that by default it limits it by about 10%. There was some study over a decade ago on this that showed 20-25% limit is best for maximizing responsiveness under load. It’s not possible to effectively schedule packets if there’s no headroom.

I have a few Pi 4 + UE300 routers in operation that work just as well but this is a nice alternative if you have a CM4 lying around.

Special military operation

I don’t think so, not by DFRobot at least. That said, I think 2.5G is only useful for >1G internet connections. On the LAN side, the switch is what matters for LAN throughput.

Like, do Palestinians ask if they have been consulted before Jews or Israelis present a part of Israel’s history?

☝️

Belle Jarniewski, executive director of the Jewish Heritage Centre, suggested there should have been meaningful consultation with the Jewish community.

These people are so used to having a monopoly on the storytelling of this history that they are completely incapable of becoming aware of their own arrogance.

Sounds like the EU should do something.

Yes.

Yes. There’s no oversight, whoever puts the money has the influence. US, China, EU, Canada, Australia, etc. We need to move away from the idea of funding being separable from influence. About anything. The economic dimension isn’t separate from the political one. It’s a myth we are told that’s served to further the interests of capital against the rest of us. If any country or block wants the influence we/they can put up the money.

What these articles always seem to breeze over is that China’s strategy towards Taiwan has historically been economic, not military. Chinese businesses have been buying up Taiwanese capital since 2014. Taiwanese businesses have been integrated into the Chinese export markets for even longer. FoxConn - the notorious manufacturing company for US and Japanese electronics - is one of Taiwan’s largest firms, but primarily employs Chinese workers in and around Hong Kong.

This is really poorly understood by most because of “the fearmongering [reporting] around China as a military threat never seems to touch their economic sphere of influence.” Which I’m guessing is done in part due to the defusing effect economic coverage would have. It’ll beg questions like - why are we sabre rattling if those guys are already so deeply enmeshed with China? It puts the possibility of military invasion on a similarly shaky footing as the US invading Canada.

The WHO is losing staff today due to lack of funding. That is “a bad ending.” If someone can put up the money in short order to stop that bad ending, it’s better one. China can do that. If a stronger democracy can do it so we can have more good endings down the road, they should. I’m not optimistic.

I saw a short interview with him by France 24 and he mainy said he thinks the current direction of the research teams at Meta is wrong. He made a contrast between top-down push to deliver org as opposed to long leash, leave the researches to experiment with things. He said Meta shifted from the latter to the former and he doesn’t agree with the approach.

Also he thinks LLMs are a dead end for getting smarter AI while Zuck is doubling down on them.

ZFS. It runs on whatever RAM you give it.

China gotta step in.

The organization has already transitioned to a nonprofit in the U.S. but is still working to set up a nonprofit in Belgium, or an AISBL, to replace the German entity, which lost its nonprofit status last year. Once established, the Belgian nonprofit will be the future home of the organization. In the meantime, the U.S.-based 501©(3) c nonprofit will own the trademark and other assets.

Very important step.
